Turda (Hungarian: Torda, German: Thorenburg) (population:

on the Aries river.

History
Founded as a Dacian city under the name Dierna, Turda
was conquered by the Romans.
The castrum established was named Potaissa and became
a municipium, then a colonia.
Potaissa was the basecamp of the Legio V Macedonica
from 166 to 274.

In the Middle Ages, Turda was the residence of the Transylvanian
Diet.
Turda was the site of the Peace of Turda, which guaranteed
religious freedom in Transylvania in 1568.

The Romans began extracting salt from the nearby salt
mines, which were used for this purpose until their
closure in 1932.
The mines have been reopened for tourism.
